I'm afraid that there is a misapprehension about my new shoes. The brightly colored things are called gaiters, made by Dirty Girl Gaiters. It is made of Lycra and serves to keep dust and rocks out of my shoes. I've been wearing them from the start and they are a huge help.
Since my break in Reno I've fallen behind my hiking buddies and am now hiking alone. The landscape in the Northern Sierras is beautiful and I'm enjoying the first solitude of the trip. It is really stunning with small lakes nestled into the hillside.
Glad your new boots are good. That is a stunning area. Enjoy! Very bright gaiters! Look out for bears! We saw a couple in the sierras! X
